Inconsistent headers with named pages and running headers

Salutations. I was finally trying to implement #57 in my system and I encountered a strange difficult. I have just as simple set of div.chapter objects with a running header that has the author and title except for the first page of each chapter, which doesn’t. When I run this against the latest (6971959), the headers inconsistently disappear on the page.

I have attached a sample which demonstrates this. This is from Frankenstein. The letters all have the headers I expect, but the first page after chapter doesn’t, however, I don’t have anything different with those so I’m not sure why it disappeared. Likewise, pages 23-34 (the third and fourth page of chapter 2) are doing this.

Can’t reproduce this bug with weasyprint 0.42

I can, what a strange issue.

I just had a chance to integrate the code into my mfgames-writing-js and it worked beautifully (though there were some differences in how I implemented the page breaks).

Between this and the inability to reset page numbers, I ended up having to generate 3 PDFs for every chapter in my novels with the previous implementation.

• One using the previous page style to get the right number of pages.
• One to render the first page of a chapter.
• One to render the rest of the chapter.

Then I combined everything the two previous ones together. page1 + pageN. The combine those to the previous chapters to build up the document part-by-part. (So 3N PDFS where N is the number of chapters.)

With the changes for this, I got it down to 2. Not 2N, 2. That also made the builds 6x faster for my latest published novel.

Thank you, this has been very helpful and I appreciate all the help you put into it.
